TREATED TO A SURPRISE.

As was announced some days ago in the
EAGLE MIR. George Kroenert and family
leave this evening for San Diago, California,
and will make that city their future home.
In view of their leaving the city their many
friends last evening treated them to quite a
surprise. A committee consisting of MesSrs
L. Dittman and Sam Hiharger were appoint
Ell TO conduct them to the Sons of Hermin
hall. They reached the hall soon after S
o'clock with Mr.. Kroenert and family. The hall
was crowded with their friends who had pre-
pared an elegant spread and were determin-
ed on making the evening a pleasant one.
Mr.. Joseph Koeing, president of the Sons of
Hermin, presented Mr.. Kroenert with an
elegant gold ring with cameo set upon
which is carved head of the
great German warrior Hermin. The
presentation speech was. well suited TO the, oc-
caSion.
When the repast had been served the dane
ing commenced. The temperature was not
exactly suited to that sort of amusement but
1T was one of the features of the program
At late.hour the party disbanded wishing
Mr.. and Mrs. Kroenert happiness and long
life. A committee of prominent citizens will
escort them to the depot this evening.
Mr.. kroenert has lived in the city near ten
years and has been one OF the leading citi-
zens- He has been vice president of the lodge
OF Sons of Herman and has served in other
positions of honor. His many friends regret
very much his removal from the city.

BOLD ATTEMPT,

MIR. Mos.ey yesterday left his horses and
carriage standing in the shade at the corner
OF. East Douglas and Lawrence. Sometime
after. hitching, be saw man ccolv take q
seat in the buggy, pull the robe upon his lap
and start 10 drive away. He somehow did
not like the proceedings and called halt
after. the fellow had driven a short distance.
1he man, a rather tough looking specimen of
humanity, checked the horses and when Mr..
Mosley came up, explained his conduct by
saying he saw the horses were very uneasy
where they were standing and SO he thought
he would drive them up further and hitch
them to post That story is all right,
said Mr.. Mosley afterwards, but the fellow
was struck on my outfit and if had not
came around just at the right time, | might
never have seen it agaiu

Wait is the answer most common to en-

and you shall have the news"

| ''Oh, just as soon as we can; can't exactly

ular yesterday.
Inquiry last evening was rewarded with
the statement that the bids would be sub
mitted today without fail No more time
would be granted under any ordinary plea
| The parties interested in the enterprise are
| becoming very anxious to have the matter
settled. As result it seems quite probable
that the matter will be decided today unless
the bids are so close that 1t viii take some
time to decide upon their merits.
| Mr.. Davidson tated last evening that the
| bid from the west side would not be consid-
sidered.i The location was not suited fer the
site, and no further thought would be ex-
| pended in that direction
! Some telling work was done yesterday on
the bids being prepared on the north and
south. Ii would seem that the south side is
going on the still hunt plan. Some parties
who are known.to be working teeth ami toe

GIVEN OVER 1Hn COUNCIL.

| The trouble over the site for the DR.. Whit
| lock building seems to be but little nearer
Sc ttlement than it was few days ago. The
matter promises to come before the city
council, hoping there to find solution.
| Three members of the council were heard dis
cussing the question yesterday, and they dis
cussed it in manner indicating that they
recognized its Importance and would give it
careful attention, hoping to reach an adjust
ment.
One gentleman thought the city ought to
adopt certain survey and make all conform
to that. In his mind it was difficult to de
termine which survey was preferable. While
he favored such action if it would be lawful,
he was not sure that his plan could be en-
forced if adopted.
| In objection to the suggested plan an
other councilman stated that to a
certain extent every one Of the various
surveys of the city had been followed in
| sone cases by parties erecting handsome
| brick blocks. "Of course it matters not
| which is adopted, some buildings will be over
the line, and if the order was strictly en-
| forced some one would be damaged. and it
would probably cost the city considerable
amount"
1--WE are going to have considerable trouble
in this matter" said the third member of the
family of city fathers. when you strike
mans property or his purse, you get
prompt answer. There is no way Of getting
united opinion on this question and voting
on it vive voce, because there is a difference
of interest which cannot be adjusted without
some force business. The city council in my
opinion will have to arrive at some conclu-
sion or adopt some plan which can be en-
forced, no matter how hard the kicking,
and then enforce it with a stalwart vim.
1t is my opinion that this is the
most important question that has come be-
fore the council for many moon We
must consider it as such before we can fully
realize its Importance. When in possession
of all the facts and fully apprised of the i'm
portance of immediate action, then let us
make united effort
As to myself I have at present no theory
to advance. / have given the question of
late considerable thought but have arrived
at no conclusion concerning what ought to
be DONE I expect that this south Main
street trouble will come before the council at
its next meeting That will introduce the
question from which thorough investiga
ton ought to be made.

TO THE BUSINESS MEN OF WICHITA.

| la the absence of q quorum of the board o.
trade the committee on manufactures anC
industries desire to call the attention of the
business men of Wichita to the Horse Collar
Manufacturing Co., proposed by Mr.. G. w
Girls void of Chicago
| Mr. Griswold has the control of the Patent
Horse Collar coupler and desires to organize
that patent fastener.
The committee have carefully examined
the patent fastener and the plans proposed
by Mr. Griswold and believe the patent q
very valuable one as can be seen at once by
inspection.
posed industry could besuccessfully conduct
ed at Wichita and would prove profitable
| investment for the stockholders as well as an
| important addition to the manufacturing
enterprises Of Wichita.
In view of these facts the committee urge
upon those citizens who may be approached
| for subscriptions to the stock of the company
| care ul consideration of the merits of the
patent fastener and the profitableness Of
stock in the proposed company and the de
STABILITY of the industry to the business in
terests of Wichita
r. Z. LAWRENCE, Chairman.
FRANK D. PAvEY, Secretary,
This industry certainly deserves the cor
dial support of all citizens who desire to en-
| bark in any manufacturing enterprise. Horse
collars can certainly be manufactured here
as cheaply as anywhere in the United States.
Leather and straw are the only products nee
essary. 1t is part of the programme of the
| company ultimately to establish tannery
and make their own leather at the factory.
With cheap leather and cheap straw. and
the addition of the patent fastener and new
improved machinery that will enable four
men to stuff twenty-five dozen collars per
day, this company ought to be able to con-
troll the trade of all the surrounding terri
tory There is no horse collar manufactur
ing company west of Kansas City until you
reach San Francisco. Their trade would ex-
tend over Kansas, Nebraska, Indian Terri
tory ana Texas, and west as far as the coast
II the matter is taken in hand properly the
factory can be running in thirty or forty
days and thus secure the fall trade
MIR. Griswold will be,pleased to show his
patent collars to any one calling at the Occi-
dental hotel.

Some days ago gentleman from one of
the leading cities of the east arrived in the
city for the purpose of looking over the facil-
tiles for starting in the wholesale dry goods
business. He is a member of q prominent
wholesale firm in his city engaged in the same
business He has quietly looked over the
city with the purpose of gathering his own
data and drawing his own conclusion. The
conclusion has been drawn, and he proposes
to start wholesale dry goods business in
the city.
Yesterday he made himself known to a
number of business men in the city AMI told
them of his intentions. He has also made
the selection of site for his establishment,
and this he also made known. He wishes
some one to erect in the block chosen four
story, fifty foot front brick build
ing and the company will pay aver
age rent for the same. He desires
the building constructed in such way as
will be best suited to the uses of the company.
A conference was held last evening on the
building question between the gentlemen
and three of the leading business men of the
city. Nothing of definite character was
decided upon, but there seems to be no doubt
that arrap gemerts will be made for a build
ing.
The gentleman was seen last evening and
was very anxious thst his name be excused
from the types for few days, and also that
the site desired by himself be allowed to re-
main sub rosa. The REVEALING of the same he
feared woulI prove detrimental to the
scheme

RETURNED.

Mr. O. c. Daisy and family returned last
evening from their northern trip. Mr.
| Daisy called at the EAGLE reportorial room
last evening and gave short history of the
| country through which he passed. He says
that Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska, Wisconsin and
Minnesota are suffering intensely from the
drouth. Ia any Of the above named
states frequently sparks from a loco
motive set the prairie or pasture lands
on fire. This, he said, fairly told the condi-
ton of the country. No longer were any
hopes entertained for corn crop or even a
small percent Of good crop. In many sec
tions the corn is totally destroyed and the
people as result are very much discouraged.
Mr. Daisy tells of little incident that
happened to hurry Myers and
Hank Heiserman while in Chicago.
By some means these two gentlemen
got into church building during services
and were very much surprised over the situa-
ton. Hank forgot to remove his cigar from
his mouth nor did he remove his hat Muir
ray is reported to have taken the surprise
much more. gracefully than. Hank. For
further particulars the public is recommend
ed to Nr. Daisy.
On reaching Kansas Mr.. Daisy said that
the crops looked much better. In the
eastern part of the state the drouth had got
in its work to damaging degree in many
sections, but west of Emporia the country
showed evidences of good amount of rain.
As for decent temperature he reports it
impossible to find it in any of the states which
he was in. The mercury passing 100 degrees
strong some days and receding about ten de-
grees during the night, made life burden.
He thi AXIS Wichita with her warm days and
cool nights is about as comfortable place as
can be found easily on this longitude
